Our Summary Review

Some of the "best falafel in town" – "the lines prove it" – comes from this Thayer Street Middle Eastern, a "no-frills", counter-service "staple" for "inexpensive" yet "outstanding" pita pockets and wraps, where you "pick exactly what goes into your sandwich" ("vegetables, sauces", etc.); even when "wildly busy", the "dedicated" staff "busts it out", "moving you through fast" whether at lunch or late-night, though since there's "not much seating" many go the take-out route.
